A specialist referral is provided when a GP or healthcare professional believes you may benefit from further assessment by a medical specialist.
How Does It Work?
1. Discuss Your Health Concern
Speak with a GP or healthcare professional about your symptoms or health concern.
2. Clinical Assessment
The healthcare professional will assess your individual circumstances and determine whether a specialist referral may be appropriate.
3. Receive Your Referral
If clinically appropriate, you may receive a referral to a suitable specialist.
4. Book Your Specialist Appointment
You can then arrange an appointment with the specialist for further assessment or treatment.
Can I Discuss a Referral Online?
For suitable health concerns, you may be able to discuss whether a specialist referral is appropriate during an online GP consultation.
